I realized that I haven’t made a granola in a very long time and of course, decided to change that as I had a whole bunch of leftovers at home that I wanted to use up. I also opted to throw in some shredded carrots in there for some extra fiber and extra healthy stuff. It was a good decision, as the carrots gave a very subtle sweet taste.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 8 servings / 0.53 EUR per serving / 4.21 EUR for all)

4 carrots (0.40 EUR)

¼ cup coconut oil (0.40 EUR)

¼ cup brown sugar (0.20 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp ground ginger (0.07 EUR)

2 tsp ground cinnamon (0.13 EUR)

1 cup chopped walnuts (0.67 EUR)

½ cup sunflower seeds (0.20 EUR)

½ cup pumpkin seeds (0.40 EUR)

4 cups rolled oats (0.53 EUR)

1 cup raisins (0.40 EUR)

1 cup white chocolate chunks (0.80 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Walsh, peel and shred the carrots, then toss together with coconut oil, sugar, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Stir in walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and oats, making sure that everything is evenly incorporated. Spread the granola on a prepared tray in an even layer, then bake for about 40 minutes. Be sure to give it a good stir every 10-15 minutes, so that everything is evenly crisped up and nothing burns.

Leave the granola on its tray to cool completely, then stir in the raisins and white chocolate chunks. Keep the granola refrigerated in an airtight container for several weeks.

Shvatila sam da nisam već jako dugo radila granolu, pa sam naravno to morala popraviti, a posebno jer sam kod kuće imala puno nekakvih ostataka. U ovu verziju granole dodala sam i ribanu mrkvu za malo ekstra vlakana i ostalih zdravih stvari. Osim toga, mrkva je dala baš i fini suptilni slatkasti okus.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 8 porcija / 3,94 kn po porciji / 31,51 kn za sve)

4 mrkve (3,00 kn)

¼ šalice kokosovog ulja (3,00 kn)

¼ šalice smeđeg šećera (1,50 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica mljevenog đumbira (0,50 kn)

2 žličice mljevenog cimeta (1,00 kn)

1 šalica sjeckanih oraha (5,00 kn)

½ šalice suncokretovih sjemenki (1,50 kn)

½ šalice bučinih sjemenki (3,00 kn)

4 šalice zobenih pahuljica (4,00 kn)

1 šalica grožđica (3,00 kn)

1 šalica komadića bijele čokolade (6,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 175°C te obložite protvan papirom za pečenje. Operite, ogulite i naribajte mrkve, pa pomiješajte sa kokosovim uljem, šećerom, solju, đumbirom i cimetom. Umiješajte orahe, suncokretove i bučine sjemenke, te zobene, pa dobro promiješajte da se sve sjedini. Granolu raširite po pripremljenom protvanu u ravnomjernom sloju i pecite 40 minuta. Pazite da sve dobro promiješate svakih 10-15 minuta tokom pečenja kako bi se sve ravnomjerno zahrskalo i ništa vam ne bi zagorilo.

Pustite granolu da se skroz ohladi na protvanu, pa umiješajte u nju grožđice i komadiće bijele čokolade. Čuvajte granolu u hladnjaku u hermetički zatvorenoj posudi gdje će trajati i nekoliko tjedana.
